RESOLVED, That all remedial course instruction shall be phased-out of
all baccalaureate degree programs at the CUNY senior colleges as of the follow-
ing dates:
September, 1999 for Baruch, Brooklyn, Queens and Hunter Colleges;
September, 2000, for Lehman, John Jay, Staten Island and City College
Colleges;
and September 2001, for York and Medgar Evers Colleges.
Following a college's discontinuation of remediation, no student who has not
passed all three Freshman Skills Assessment Tests, and any other admissions
criteria which may exist, shall be allowed to enroll and/or transfer into that
college's baccalaureate degree programs. Students seeking admission to
CUNY senior college baccalaureate degree programs who are in need of
remediation shall be able to obtain such remediation services at a CUNY
community college, at a senior college only during its summer sessions, or
elsewhere as may be made available. This resolution does not apply to ESL
students who received a secondary education abroad and who otherwise are not in
need of remediation; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Interim Chancellor and the senior college
presidents shall, after consultation with the faculty, present a detailed
plan for implementation of this resolution at the respective colleges to the
Remediation and Long Range Planning Committees by September, 1998.
